16mm SHORT FILM: LAUREL & HARDY "THE LIVE GHOST"US 1934dir Charley Rogerswith Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Mae Busch
Another of the classic L&H two-reelers. A gruff sea captain is having trouble manning his ship because of the rumor it's haunted. He inveigles Stanley and Oliver into helping him shanghai a crew from the sailors at a dockside bar. The comic duo accomplish this (in their own way) but of course from then on it all goes wrong. They also end up aboard and the c...aptain warns them that whoever says the word "ghost" will get his head twisted from north to south. After much time at sea and many port stops later, one of the drunken sailors falls into a trough of whitewash, terrorizing Stanley and Oliver into blurting out "ghost" in front of the enraged captain, which brings about the story's Laurel and Hardy trademark "another fine mess" ending.
